I just committed an attempt at a real Beep() function for Linux, but so far, I've not been able to get it to work on my Ubuntu installation. The beep utility also does not work on my system and I've found a lot of discussion about problems getting this to work on Ubuntu, so I suspect this might be a problem with the system I'm running this on rather than necessarily a bug in the code.
Erich, I wonder if you could try running this on some of the other distributions. I've left a bunch of debugging printfs() in the function to we can easily determine how this is failing. Everything I've found about using ioctl() to produce a sound suggests this should work, but so far, nothing I've tried has succeeded. Eventually it falls back to the primitive method of printing out a bell character. Rick
